Wendy,
thanks for tipping me off to this thread.
as far as the lab-rat thing goes...personally, i love taking my pills, i think oh yum yum this is making me better...but i've never had to dose every few hour like you. can you afford consultation with a really hot-shot pdoc?
does neurontin make you tired? it makes me crawl back into bed even after tea every morning.
explaining to students--these are middle schoolers, right? i'd equate that to a 5 year-old asking about where babies come from. they don't want the lurid details, just a simple explanation. i would say to the students (if they even asked) "i take these to maintain my health"--end of subject. i don't think i'd venture to educate middle-schoolers on mental illness in the classroom as a sub. if it was in the textbooks (which it should be, like in health class) fine, but--
i don't have the experience of the other posters, but my pdoc said to me, "Some people go as high as 2400 mg on neurontin"--so nearly double that kinda makes my eyebrows jump up...
love,
sar
